How to Make EPS Foam Machine

time2011/06/18

EPS foam is a highly durable material, a large number of consumer products to use. Expandable Polystyrene EPS representatives. This compound is a good expansion foam insulation. It is used in refrigerators, coolers, helmets and many other products used every day. As for the extensive use of EPS foam machine to create a high demand, so this is a very lucrative business, part. If you have a manufacturing background, it is entirely possible to make their products EPS foam.

 Polystyrene foam impregnated with resin particles. When the EPS foam machine, pentane gas (C5H12) is usually used as a blowing agent. Inject a small amount of pentane gas in a process known as polymerization resins.
 
 Before the start of the expansion process. After the resin particles have been impregnated, into the steamer, and steam heating of your particles. Heat causes the blowing agent with the granules and the reaction will lead to expanded polystyrene particles 50 times its original size. At this stage you have to prepare a large number of individual foam particles are formed.
 
 Decide what kind of molding method, you will use your EPS foam. There are two options for forming standard. The first method is to use the "shape forming" machine. This method will die of the bubble is the exact size and shape of products in development. The second option is to use a "block making" machine. Otherwise, create a large block forming or EPS foam, which can be cut in the future size and shape, customers need more copies. It is important to determine which method is suitable for EPS foam you will do, so you can choose the appropriate injection molding machine.

 EPS particles into the mold and complete the second heat. Second particles with steam heating, it will expand and become pressed into a mold piece of solid foam. It is this process of heating the mold, into their individual particles from the EPS foam machine.
